Feb 13, 2021
10. Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie Valli
Most romantic lyric: "At long last, love has arrived. And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you."
Remember “Ten Things I hate About You”? While we can't all get our sweethearts to sing this song to us while running away from security guards during our soccer practice like late Heath Ledger did, dancing along to this song is a close second.

9. Finally // Beautiful Strange by Halsey
Most romantic lyric: "Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms. But I think it's finally, finally, finally, finally, finally safe for me to fall."
Halsey shows a different side of herself in this heartfelt ballad about finally finding someone that makes you feel safe enough to fall in love.

8. Perfect by Ed Sheeran
Most romantic lyric: “Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know / She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home”
“Perfect” is as good as it gets for Valentine’s Day because it represents all that it means to be in love. It shows the magic of love and wanting to grow with that person. The beauty of just Ed Sheeran’s voice gives the real meaning and lyrics a chance to blossom.

7. Wild Horses by Rolling Stones
Most romantic lyric: “I know I've dreamed you / A sin and a lie / I have my freedom / But I don't have much time”
Recorded in 1969 but not put on the album until 1971, this romantic song, a co-production of Richards-Jagger, is said to be dedicated to both Richards' newborn baby and Jagger's on again off again lover Marianne. We do not know who it is for, but we pass ourselves while listening.

6. All of Me by John Legend
Most romantic lyric: “You’re my end and my beginning”
Love is all-encompassing. Nobody conveys this message as simply and lovely as John Legend in this sweet song dedicated to his wife Chrissy Teigen. He literally melts our hearts.

5. Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye
Most seductive lyric: “Ooh baby, I'm hot just like an oven / I need some lovin'
Want to turn the heat up? Then you should play this seductive song by Marvin Gaye and set the mood instantly.

4. Can’t Help Falling in Love by Haley Reinhart
Most romantic lyric: "Take my hand. Take my whole life too. For I can't help falling in love with you."
Haley's incredible cover of the Elvis Presley classic made us shed several tears while watching the popular Netflix movie, Crazy Rich Asians and might make us experience even more feels when we play it for our partners.

3. My Funny Valentine by Ella Fitzgerald
Most romantic lyric: “You make me smile with my heart”
Ella Fitzgerald was a jazz legend with many accolades and classics to her name, including this rendition of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart’s famous song. The lyrics speak of a lover who’s not perfect (who is?), but is still their admirer’s “favorite work of art.”

2. I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton
Most romantic lyric: “I wish you joy / And I wish you happiness / But above all this / I wish you love”
Whitney Houston may have popularized this classic love song, but we have Dolly Parton to thank for gifting us with this gem. The country singer-songwriter penned and recorded this bittersweet single two decades before Houston sang it for the Bodyguard soundtrack.

1. All You Need Is Love by Beatles
Most romantic lyric: “There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be”
The Beatles are widely known as the most popular band of all time. “All You Need is Love” gives examples of different parts of life that are all explained by love. It gives meaning to the word love and how life without love is meaningless.
